Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing device incorporating a camera receives an instruction associated with the camera to display an image generated by the camera in an area within a graphical user interface of an application running on the computing device. The computing device determines a width and a height of the area. The computing device instructs the camera to configure the image, in connection with its generation, for display in the area. And the computing device displays in the area the image as generated and configured by the camera.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- by a computing device comprising a camera, receiving an instruction associated with the camera to display an image in an area within a graphical user interface of an application executing on the computing device, the image being generated by the camera;
- by the computing device, determining a width and a height of the area;
- by the computing device, instructing the camera to configure the image, in connection with its generation, for display in the area;
- and
- by the computing device, displaying in the area the image as generated and configured by the camera.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed by a computing device comprising a camera to:
- receive an instruction associated with the camera to display an image in an area within a graphical user interface of an application executing on the computing device, the image being generated by the camera;
- determine a width and a height of the area;
- instruct the camera to configure the image, in connection with its generation, for display in the area;
- and
- display in the area the image as generated and configured by the camera.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a camera coupled to the processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
- receive an instruction associated with the camera to display an image in an area within a graphical user interface of an application executing on the computing device, the image being generated by the camera;
- determine a width and a height of the area;
- instruct the camera to configure the image, in connection with its generation, for display in the area;
- and
- display in the area the image as generated and configured by the camera.
